The actress also shared that she has learned to accept the death, reasoning that "what's meant to happen will happen."

Lustre was with her boyfriend, James Reid, for the interview.

Reid said that the painful incident had a profound effect on Lustre, noting that she became more open with her feelings.

"I think it's because she kept trying to be strong for her family, for everyone who's looking up to her," he pointed out. "She was really holding her emotions in and didn't want to let them go."

"And that was one of the things I tried to get out her --na it's OK to feel sad, it's OK to cry and let it out, it's natural, it's just human. I think after that, she really learned to open up and trust me with her emotions," he added.

As the interview aired, Lustre's fans took to Twitter to praise her for her strength in talking about her pain.

Courageous. Tough. Nadine, you've earned more respect from me. To not falter, stutter between words when asked about your brother's death.. it was apparent you still haven't moved on. But you stood your ground.

I love you Tito Boy! That discussion of her brother's loss was just perfectly gentle and sincere. There were a few moments, I heard Nadine's voice break but with James beside her, she felt comfortable. I admit, it gave my heart a pinch & started to tear up. #JADINEtonight
